About this item
"A bright and accessible introduction to a woman whose quiet advocacy left a lasting impact, complete with easy suggestions for budding birders and environmentalists to follow in Bailey's observant footsteps." —The Horn Book Guide
Meet Florence Merriam Bailey, a pioneering birder and activist who changed the way we study birds forever, in this lushly illustrated picture book biography.
As a young girl, Florence Merriam Bailey fell in love with the outdoors, especially with birds whose songs and flight captivated her. She listened, waited, and watched to better understand her feathered friends. As an adult, she wrote many books, including one of the first field guides to American birds, and advocated for the scientific study of birds in nature rather than in a lab. Her work ultimately led to better understanding of and protection for birds.
Artist Andrea D'Aquino brings to life the story of a woman ahead of her time. Striking full-page collages make each page a delight to read.
